In Mazda’s home market of Japan, a limited-slip diff is available on both 1.5 and 2.0 versions of MX-5. Here it's only on the 2.0-litre model.

Skinny 195 section tyres look gorgeous and make it easy to adjust your line through corners. Only large potholes are noticeable as suspension soaks up most bumps in the road.

Main frustration is tiny boot. It was already small in previous car, but has shrunk by 20 litres to 130 litres – although you can still fit in two small bags for a weekend away.
